Jimmy Jones

Not to end up being confused using the prolific pianist, arranger, and author of the same name, classic jazz bassist Jimmy Jones played as well as soprano saxophonist and clarinetist Sidney Bechet in the top ensemble referred to as Noble Sissle’s Swingsters. This clothing was active documenting for near a decade from the past due ’20s, cutting wonderful sides like the unhappy “BY YOURSELF in the Moonlight” and “Cellar Blues” (marketed as “low-downer than any low-down blues”), which needed to be an project of choice for just about any bassist worthy of his stuff. Bechet accepted of Jones’ method around a bassline, utilizing him in his New Orleans Feetwarmers group through the ’30s. These recordings stand for both an important and fats chunk of Jones’ larder of documented edges. Also of very much interest will be the early paths made by established vocalist Lena Horne, in cases like this offering Jones fiddling with another low yo-yo, the baritone sax. Another musician that he’s not may be the Texan occasionally credited as Adam “Famous” Jones, who turns up on blues, gospel, and nation projects beginning several decades later.
